Wishes for Christmas Crazy
It's probably about time for a Christmas Crazy update, no?
We're at $1130. In one week. Not bad ... not bad at all.
But I'm greedy.
I want to make even more magic for kids who have had their lives changed by domestic violence. These are the kids who would fall through the cracks if not for y'all. These are kids like the baby girl who is due to be born any day. She will be living in a shelter for the first part of her life, so her mom has asked for some very basic toys and some diapers. They are little things that will help them change their course for the better.
These are kids like the 14-year old girl who has asked for the things a really typical 14-year old girl asks for. She wants nail products, jewelry, any kind of electronics, Let's Dance for XBox, purses, and footies. It's all very much so magic that can be conjured up with relative ease.
Some kids want scooters or board games. Others want dolls or bath toys. Still others dared to dream bigger. They want cell phones or tablets or any of the other things that most any pre-teen or teen would dare to dream of finding under the tree on Christmas morning.
Their lives aren't quite normal right now, but their dreams are.
Let's make magic, y'all. There's a wish list here with many of the items that have been requested.
Or, you can always click the magic box. Every single penny makes a difference.

"Their lives aren't quite normal right now, but their dreams are."
What a great sentence. Concise, yet powerfull! Good luck with the Christmas Crazy!
Just sent you some prezzies! Thanks for making the holidays special for these kids!
Because I am a bit of a hoarder about certain things, I have a ton of nail polishes that are very gently used, or not used at all. I'd be willing to round them up (and get some friends in on it, too) if you'd be interested?
Annnd I got a Enfamil package with a sample and coupons in the mail that I'm not going to use. I could throw that in too, even if it would just live at the shelter for a little while until someone needed it.
